[this time, as with every time aside from the first time, he kisses back. though this time, takeru can feel it - the warmth, the affection, the surge of emotion that comes with the gesture. the idea that anything about this was easy, or that it's not a miracle that they've managed to make this work somehow.]
... it's not on purpose. [he speaks softly against takeru's lips, pausing briefly to kiss him again.] I think I could start wanting your praise too much.
[it's too risky - given everything else. the fact that mineo has other people waiting on his answer, and the fact that takeru might still run at any moment.]
You're easy to get lost in.
[he kisses him again anyway, like that's any simpler at all.]
